Chris Gampat

Self Portrait in Tan

I am what I call a “phoblographer“. I’ve worked for the likes of PCMagazine, Geek.com, Magnum Photos and others. My vision started declining when I was in High School. I can see better in my right eye than my left. While shooting, I sometimes take my glasses off to be able to see the world in two different perspectives: crystal clear (with everything in focus) and blurry except at a close range (which through my eyes actually looks a bit like the bokeh from a lens).

Photography, videography, writing and music are my lives.

    Hey Chris, I have been following you extensivly on twitter and this blog. It is very inspiring and very informational. I have talked over some people about the possiblitly of putting together a blind photographer photo book and if this something you guys might be interested in you can contact me at tj@synetmedia.com. I think it would be a great opportunity. Look forward to talking with you.

    Do you travel for speaking engagements? Am preparing a tactile Exhibit for the Muscarelle Museum at the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, VA and am looking for an artist who is either blind or has low vision. Dates are open. Please write if you are interested. Your work is beautiful. Thanks, Shirley

    Hi Apollo- Thanks, we’re talking about it.

    Hi Shirley- As a college graduate I really don’t have the money to travel but I’m very flattered by the opportunity.
